Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an organic electroluminescent device, a compound, and an electronic device.
  • organic electroluminescent element When a voltage is applied to an organic electroluminescent element (hereinafter sometimes referred to as an "organic EL element"), holes are injected from the anode into the emissive layer, and electrons are injected from the cathode into the emissive layer. Then, in the light emitting layer, the injected holes and electrons recombine to form excitons. At this time, according to the statistical law of electron spin, singlet excitons are generated at a rate of 25%, and triplet excitons are generated at a rate of 75%. Fluorescent organic EL devices that use light emission from singlet excitons are being applied to full-color displays such as mobile phones and televisions, but an internal quantum efficiency of 25% is said to be the limit. Therefore, studies are being conducted to improve the performance of organic EL elements.

Description

有機エレクトロルミネッセンス素子、化合物、及び電子機器Organic electroluminescent devices, compounds, and electronic devices

 本発明は、有機エレクトロルミネッセンス素子、化合物、及び電子機器に関する。 The present invention relates to an organic electroluminescent device, a compound, and an electronic device.

 有機エレクトロルミネッセンス素子(以下、「有機EL素子」という場合がある。)に電圧を印加すると、陽極から正孔が発光層に注入され、また陰極から電子が発光層に注入される。そして、発光層において、注入された正孔と電子とが再結合し、励起子が形成される。このとき、電子スピンの統計則により、一重項励起子が25%の割合で生成し、及び三重項励起子が75%の割合で生成する。
 一重項励起子からの発光を用いる蛍光型の有機EL素子は、携帯電話及びテレビ等のフルカラーディスプレイへ応用されつつあるが、内部量子効率25%が限界といわれている。そのため、有機EL素子の性能を向上するための検討が行われている。
When a voltage is applied to an organic electroluminescent element (hereinafter sometimes referred to as an "organic EL element"), holes are injected from the anode into the emissive layer, and electrons are injected from the cathode into the emissive layer. Then, in the light emitting layer, the injected holes and electrons recombine to form excitons. At this time, according to the statistical law of electron spin, singlet excitons are generated at a rate of 25%, and triplet excitons are generated at a rate of 75%.
Fluorescent organic EL devices that use light emission from singlet excitons are being applied to full-color displays such as mobile phones and televisions, but an internal quantum efficiency of 25% is said to be the limit. Therefore, studies are being conducted to improve the performance of organic EL elements.

 また、一重項励起子に加えて三重項励起子を利用し、有機EL素子をさらに効率的に発光させることが期待されている。このような背景から、熱活性化遅延蛍光(以下、単に「遅延蛍光」という場合がある。)を利用した高効率の蛍光型の有機EL素子が提案され、研究がなされている。
 例えば、TADF(Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence、熱活性化遅延蛍光)機構(メカニズム)が研究されている。このTADFメカニズムは、一重項準位と三重項準位とのエネルギー差(ΔST)の小さな材料を用いた場合に、三重項励起子から一重項励起子への逆項間交差が熱的に生じる現象を利用するメカニズムである。熱活性化遅延蛍光については、例えば、『安達千波矢編、「有機半導体のデバイス物性」、講談社、2012年4月1日発行、261-268ページ』に記載されている。
Furthermore, it is expected that triplet excitons will be used in addition to singlet excitons to cause organic EL devices to emit light more efficiently. Against this background, highly efficient fluorescent organic EL devices using thermally activated delayed fluorescence (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "delayed fluorescence") have been proposed and researched.
For example, the TADF (Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence) mechanism has been studied. In this TADF mechanism, when a material with a small energy difference (ΔST) between the singlet and triplet levels is used, reverse intersystem crossing from triplet excitons to singlet excitons occurs thermally. It is a mechanism that utilizes phenomena. Thermal activation delayed fluorescence is described, for example, in "Chihaya Adachi, ed., "Device Properties of Organic Semiconductors," Kodansha, published April 1, 2012, pages 261-268."

 例えば、特許文献1においては、有機EL素子の性能向上を図るための検討がなされている。特許文献1には、有機EL素子に用いることのできる化合物として、伸長構造を有する連結基のパラ位の両端に、ベンゾフロカルバゾール環又はベンゾチエノカルバゾール環と、ジベンゾフラン環とを有する化合物が開示されている。
 有機EL素子の性能としては、例えば、輝度、発光波長、色度、発光効率、駆動電圧、及び寿命が挙げられる。
For example, in Patent Document 1, studies are made to improve the performance of organic EL elements. Patent Document 1 discloses a compound having a benzoflocarbazole ring or a benzothienocarbazole ring and a dibenzofuran ring at both ends of the para position of a linking group having an extended structure as a compound that can be used in an organic EL device. ing.
Examples of the performance of an organic EL element include brightness, emission wavelength, chromaticity, luminous efficiency, driving voltage, and life span.

 本明細書における、「隣接する2つ以上からなる組の1組以上が、互いに結合して、置換もしくは無置換の単環を形成する」場合、及び「隣接する2つ以上からなる組の1組以上が、互いに結合して、置換もしくは無置換の縮合環を形成する」場合(以下、これらの場合をまとめて「結合して環を形成する場合」と称する場合がある。)について、以下、
説明する。母骨格がアントラセン環である下記一般式(TEMP-103)で表されるアントラセン化合物の場合を例として説明する。
・"When combining to form a ring"
In the present specification, "one or more pairs of two or more adjacent groups are bonded to each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted monocycle, or bonded to each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted fused ring." or do not bond to each other'' means ``one or more pairs of two or more adjacent groups bond to each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted monocycle''; One or more pairs of two or more adjacent groups bond to each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted condensed ring, and one or more pairs of two or more adjacent groups do not bond to each other. ” means if and.
In this specification, when "one or more sets of two or more adjacent rings are bonded to each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted monocycle" and "one or more sets of two or more adjacent rings are combined with each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted monocycle" Regarding the case where "a pair or more are combined with each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted condensed ring" (hereinafter, these cases may be collectively referred to as "a case where they are combined to form a ring"), the following ,
explain. The case of an anthracene compound represented by the following general formula (TEMP-103) whose parent skeleton is an anthracene ring will be explained as an example.

 例えば、R921~R930のうちの「隣接する2つ以上からなる組の1組以上が、互いに結合して、環を形成する」場合において、1組となる隣接する2つからなる組とは、R921とR922との組、R922とR923との組、R923とR924との組、R924とR930との組、R930とR925との組、R925とR926との組、R926とR927との組、R927とR928との組、R928とR929との組、並びにR929とR921との組である。 For example, in the case where "one or more of the sets of two or more adjacent R 921 to R 930 are bonded to each other to form a ring", the set of two or more adjacent R 930 is one set. is a set of R 921 and R 922 , a set of R 922 and R 923 , a set of R 923 and R 924 , a set of R 924 and R 930 , a set of R 930 and R 925 , a set of R 925 and A set of R 926 , a set of R 926 and R 927 , a set of R 927 and R 928 , a set of R 928 and R 929 , and a set of R 929 and R 921 .

 上記「1組以上」とは、上記隣接する2つ以上からなる組の2組以上が同時に環を形成してもよいことを意味する。例えば、R921とR922とが互いに結合して環Qを形成し、同時にR925とR926とが互いに結合して環Qを形成した場合は、前記一般式(TEMP-103)で表されるアントラセン化合物は、下記一般式(TEMP-104)で表される。 The above-mentioned "one or more sets" means that two or more sets of the above-mentioned two or more adjacent sets may form a ring at the same time. For example, when R 921 and R 922 combine with each other to form ring Q A , and at the same time R 925 and R 926 combine with each other to form ring Q B , the above general formula (TEMP-103) The anthracene compound represented is represented by the following general formula (TEMP-104).

 「隣接する2つ以上からなる組」が環を形成する場合とは、前述の例のように隣接する「2つ」からなる組が結合する場合だけではなく、隣接する「3つ以上」からなる組が結合する場合も含む。例えば、R921とR922とが互いに結合して環Qを形成し、かつ、R922とR923とが互いに結合して環Qを形成し、互いに隣接する3つ(R921、R922及びR923)からなる組が互いに結合して環を形成して、アントラセン母骨格に縮合する場合を意味し、この場合、前記一般式(TEMP-103)で表されるアントラセン化合物は、下記一般式(TEMP-105)で表される。下記一般式(TEMP-105)において、環Q及び環Qは、R922を共有する。 The case where "a set of two or more adjacent items" forms a ring is not only the case where a set of "two" adjacent items are combined as in the example above, but also the case where a set of "three or more adjacent items" form a ring. This also includes the case where two sets are combined. For example, R 921 and R 922 combine with each other to form a ring Q A , R 922 and R 923 combine with each other to form a ring Q C , and the three adjacent to each other (R 921 , R 922 and R 923 ) combine with each other to form a ring and are condensed to the anthracene mother skeleton. In this case, the anthracene compound represented by the general formula (TEMP-103) is as follows: It is represented by the general formula (TEMP-105). In the following general formula (TEMP-105), ring Q A and ring Q C share R 922 .

 形成される「単環」、又は「縮合環」は、形成された環のみの構造として、飽和の環であっても不飽和の環であってもよい。「隣接する2つからなる組の1組」が「単環」、又は「縮合環」を形成する場合であっても、当該「単環」、又は「縮合環」は、飽和の環、又は不飽和の環を形成することができる。例えば、前記一般式(TEMP-104)において形成された環Q及び環Qは、それぞれ、「単環」又は「縮合環」である。また、前記一般式(TEMP-105)において形成された環Q、及び環Qは、「縮合環」である。前記一般式(TEMP-105)の環Qと環Qとは、環Qと環Qとが縮合することによって縮合環となっている。前記一般式(TMEP-104)の環Qがベンゼン環であれば、環Qは、単環である。前記一般式(TMEP-104)の環Qがナフタレン環であれば、環Qは、縮合環である。 The "single ring" or "fused ring" that is formed may be a saturated ring or an unsaturated ring as the structure of only the formed ring. Even if "one set of two adjacent rings" forms a "monocycle" or "fused ring," the "monocycle" or "fused ring" is a saturated ring, or Can form unsaturated rings. For example, ring Q A and ring Q B formed in the general formula (TEMP-104) are each a "monocyclic ring" or a "fused ring." Furthermore, the ring Q A and the ring Q C formed in the general formula (TEMP-105) are "fused rings". Ring Q A and ring Q C in the general formula (TEMP-105) are a condensed ring due to the condensation of ring Q A and ring Q C. When ring Q A in the general formula (TMEP-104) is a benzene ring, ring Q A is a monocyclic ring. When ring Q A in the general formula (TMEP-104) is a naphthalene ring, ring Q A is a fused ring.

 「不飽和の環」は、芳香族炭化水素環、芳香族複素環、環構造中に不飽和結合を有する脂肪族炭化水素環及び環構造中に不飽和結合を有する非芳香族複素環からなる群から選択される少なくともいずれかの環である。不飽和の環が当該環構造中に有する不飽和結合は、二重結合及び三重結合の一方もしくは両方である。環構造中に不飽和結合を有する脂肪族炭化水素環は、例えば、シクロヘキセン及びシクロヘキサジエン等である。環構造中に不飽和結合を有する非芳香族複素環は、例えば、ジヒドロピラン、イミダゾリン、ピラゾリン、キノリジン、インドリン及びイソインドリン等である。 "Unsaturated ring" refers to an aromatic hydrocarbon ring, an aromatic heterocycle, an aliphatic hydrocarbon ring having an unsaturated bond in the ring structure, and a non-aromatic heterocycle having an unsaturated bond in the ring structure. At least one ring selected from the group. The unsaturated bond that the unsaturated ring has in the ring structure is one or both of a double bond and a triple bond. Examples of the aliphatic hydrocarbon ring having an unsaturated bond in the ring structure include cyclohexene and cyclohexadiene. Examples of the non-aromatic heterocycle having an unsaturated bond in the ring structure include dihydropyran, imidazoline, pyrazoline, quinolidine, indoline, and isoindoline.

 「飽和の環」は、不飽和結合を有しない脂肪族炭化水素環及び不飽和結合を有しない非芳香族複素環から選択される少なくともいずれかの環である。飽和の環は、当該環構造中に二重結合及び三重結合を有さない。
 芳香族炭化水素環の具体例としては、具体例群G1において具体例として挙げられた基が水素原子によって終端された構造が挙げられる。
 芳香族複素環の具体例としては、具体例群G2において具体例として挙げられた芳香族複素環基が水素原子によって終端された構造が挙げられる。
 脂肪族炭化水素環の具体例としては、具体例群G6において具体例として挙げられた基が水素原子によって終端された構造が挙げられる。
 「環を形成する」とは、母骨格の複数の原子のみ、あるいは母骨格の複数の原子とさらに1以上の任意の原子で環を形成することを意味する。例えば、前記一般式(TEMP-104)に示す、R921とR922とが互いに結合して形成された環Qは、R921が結合するアントラセン骨格の炭素原子と、R922が結合するアントラセン骨格の炭素原子と、1以上の任意の原子とで形成する環を意味する。具体例としては、R921とR922とで環Qを形成する場合において、R921が結合するアントラセン骨格の炭素原子と、R922とが結合するアントラセン骨格の炭素原子と、4つの炭素原子とで単環の不飽和の環を形成する場合、R921とR922とで形成する環は、ベンゼン環である。
The "saturated ring" is at least one ring selected from an aliphatic hydrocarbon ring having no unsaturated bond and a non-aromatic heterocycle having no unsaturated bond. A saturated ring has no double or triple bonds in the ring structure.
Specific examples of the aromatic hydrocarbon ring include structures in which the groups listed as specific examples in specific example group G1 are terminated with hydrogen atoms.
Specific examples of the aromatic heterocycle include structures in which the aromatic heterocyclic group listed as a specific example in specific example group G2 is terminated with a hydrogen atom.
Specific examples of the aliphatic hydrocarbon ring include structures in which the groups listed as specific examples in specific example group G6 are terminated with hydrogen atoms.
"Form a ring" means to form a ring with only a plurality of atoms of the parent skeleton, or with a plurality of atoms of the parent skeleton and one or more arbitrary atoms. For example, the ring Q A shown in the general formula (TEMP-104) formed by R 921 and R 922 bonding to each other is a carbon atom of the anthracene skeleton to which R 921 is bonded, and an anthracene bond to which R 922 is bonded. It means a ring formed by a carbon atom of the skeleton and one or more arbitrary atoms. As a specific example, when R 921 and R 922 form a ring Q A , the carbon atom of the anthracene skeleton to which R 921 is bonded, the carbon atom of the anthracene skeleton to which R 922 is bonded, and four carbon atoms. When R 921 and R 922 form a monocyclic unsaturated ring, the ring formed by R 921 and R 922 is a benzene ring.

- Delayed fluorescence Delayed fluorescence is explained on pages 261 to 268 of "Device Properties of Organic Semiconductors" (edited by Chihaya Adachi, published by Kodansha). In that literature, it is stated that if the energy difference ΔE 13 between the excited singlet state and excited triplet state of a fluorescent material can be reduced, the reverse energy from the excited triplet state to the excited singlet state, which normally has a low transition probability, can be reduced. It is explained that the transfer occurs with high efficiency and that thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) is expressed. Furthermore, in Figure 10.38 of the document, the mechanism of generation of delayed fluorescence is explained. Compound M2 in this embodiment is preferably a compound that exhibits thermally activated delayed fluorescence generated by such a mechanism.

 一般に、遅延蛍光の発光は過渡PL(Photo Luminescence)測定により確認できる。 In general, delayed fluorescence emission can be confirmed by transient PL (Photo Luminescence) measurement.

 過渡PL測定から得た減衰曲線に基づいて遅延蛍光の挙動を解析することもできる。過渡PL測定とは、試料にパルスレーザーを照射して励起させ、照射を止めた後のPL発光の減衰挙動(過渡特性)を測定する手法である。TADF材料におけるPL発光は、最初のPL励起で生成する一重項励起子からの発光成分と、三重項励起子を経由して生成する一重項励起子からの発光成分に分類される。最初のPL励起で生成する一重項励起子の寿命は、ナノ秒オーダーであり、非常に短い。そのため、当該一重項励起子からの発光は、パルスレーザーを照射後、速やかに減衰する。
 一方、遅延蛍光は、寿命の長い三重項励起子を経由して生成する一重項励起子からの発光のため、ゆるやかに減衰する。このように最初のPL励起で生成する一重項励起子からの発光と、三重項励起子を経由して生成する一重項励起子からの発光とでは、時間的に大きな差がある。そのため、遅延蛍光由来の発光強度を求めることができる。
The behavior of delayed fluorescence can also be analyzed based on the decay curve obtained from transient PL measurements. Transient PL measurement is a method of irradiating a sample with a pulsed laser to excite it, and measuring the attenuation behavior (transient characteristics) of PL emission after the irradiation is stopped. PL emission in a TADF material is classified into an emission component from singlet excitons generated by initial PL excitation and an emission component from singlet excitons generated via triplet excitons. The lifetime of the singlet exciton generated by the first PL excitation is on the order of nanoseconds, which is very short. Therefore, the light emission from the singlet exciton attenuates quickly after irradiation with the pulsed laser.
On the other hand, delayed fluorescence decays slowly because it is emitted from singlet excitons that are generated via long-lived triplet excitons. As described above, there is a large temporal difference between the light emission from singlet excitons generated by the initial PL excitation and the light emission from singlet excitons generated via triplet excitons. Therefore, the luminescence intensity derived from delayed fluorescence can be determined.

 図2には、過渡PLを測定するための例示的装置の概略図が示されている。図2を用いた過渡PLの測定方法、および遅延蛍光の挙動解析の一例を説明する。 A schematic diagram of an exemplary apparatus for measuring transient PL is shown in FIG. An example of a method for measuring transient PL and behavior analysis of delayed fluorescence using FIG. 2 will be described.

 図2の過渡PL測定装置100は、所定波長の光を照射可能なパルスレーザー部101と、測定試料を収容する試料室102と、測定試料から放射された光を分光する分光器103と、2次元像を結像するためのストリークカメラ104と、2次元像を取り込んで解析するパーソナルコンピュータ105とを備える。なお、過渡PLの測定は、図2に記載の装置に限定されない。 The transient PL measurement device 100 in FIG. 2 includes a pulse laser section 101 capable of emitting light of a predetermined wavelength, a sample chamber 102 that accommodates a measurement sample, a spectrometer 103 that spectrally spectra the light emitted from the measurement sample, and 2. It includes a streak camera 104 for forming dimensional images, and a personal computer 105 for capturing and analyzing two-dimensional images. Note that the measurement of transient PL is not limited to the apparatus shown in FIG. 2.

 試料室102に収容される試料は、マトリックス材料に対し、ドーピング材料が12質量%の濃度でドープされた薄膜を石英基板に成膜することで得られる。 The sample accommodated in the sample chamber 102 is obtained by forming a thin film doped with a doping material at a concentration of 12% by mass relative to the matrix material on a quartz substrate.

 試料室102に収容された薄膜試料に対し、パルスレーザー部101からパルスレーザーを照射してドーピング材料を励起させる。励起光の照射方向に対して90度の方向へ発光を取り出し、取り出した光を分光器103で分光し、ストリークカメラ104内で2次元像を結像する。その結果、縦軸が時間に対応し、横軸が波長に対応し、輝点が発光強度に対応する2次元画像を得ることができる。この2次元画像を所定の時間軸で切り出すと、縦軸が発光強度であり、横軸が波長である発光スペクトルを得ることができる。また、当該2次元画像を波長軸で切り出すと、縦軸が発光強度の対数であり、横軸が時間である減衰曲線(過渡PL)を得ることができる。 The thin film sample housed in the sample chamber 102 is irradiated with a pulsed laser from the pulsed laser section 101 to excite the doping material. Emitted light is extracted in a direction 90 degrees with respect to the irradiation direction of the excitation light, the extracted light is separated into spectra by a spectroscope 103, and a two-dimensional image is formed within a streak camera 104. As a result, a two-dimensional image can be obtained in which the vertical axis corresponds to time, the horizontal axis corresponds to wavelength, and the bright spots correspond to emission intensity. By cutting out this two-dimensional image along a predetermined time axis, it is possible to obtain an emission spectrum in which the vertical axis is the emission intensity and the horizontal axis is the wavelength. Moreover, when the two-dimensional image is cut out along the wavelength axis, an attenuation curve (transient PL) can be obtained in which the vertical axis is the logarithm of the emission intensity and the horizontal axis is the time.

 例えば、マトリックス材料として、下記参考化合物H1を用い、ドーピング材料として下記参考化合物D1を用いて上述のようにして薄膜試料Aを作製し、過渡PL測定を行った。 For example, a thin film sample A was prepared as described above using reference compound H1 below as a matrix material and reference compound D1 below as a doping material, and transient PL measurement was performed.

 ここでは、前述の薄膜試料A、および薄膜試料Bを用いて減衰曲線を解析した。薄膜試料Bは、マトリックス材料として下記参考化合物H2を用い、ドーピング材料として前記参考化合物D1を用いて、上述のようにして薄膜試料を作製した。 Here, the attenuation curves were analyzed using the aforementioned thin film sample A and thin film sample B. Thin film sample B was prepared as described above using the following reference compound H2 as the matrix material and the reference compound D1 as the doping material.

 図3には、薄膜試料Aおよび薄膜試料Bについて測定した過渡PLから得た減衰曲線が示されている。 FIG. 3 shows attenuation curves obtained from the transient PL measured for thin film sample A and thin film sample B.

 上記したように過渡PL測定によって、縦軸を発光強度とし、横軸を時間とする発光減衰曲線を得ることができる。この発光減衰曲線に基づいて、光励起により生成した一重項励起状態から発光する蛍光と、三重項励起状態を経由し、逆エネルギー移動により生成する一重項励起状態から発光する遅延蛍光との、蛍光強度比を見積もることができる。遅延蛍光性の材料では、素早く減衰する蛍光の強度に対し、緩やかに減衰する遅延蛍光の強度の割合が、ある程度大きい。 As described above, by transient PL measurement, it is possible to obtain a luminescence attenuation curve with the vertical axis representing the luminous intensity and the horizontal axis representing time. Based on this emission decay curve, the fluorescence intensity of the fluorescence emitted from the singlet excited state generated by photoexcitation and the delayed fluorescence emitted from the singlet excited state generated by reverse energy transfer via the triplet excited state is determined. The ratio can be estimated. In materials with delayed fluorescence, the ratio of the intensity of delayed fluorescence that decays slowly to the intensity of fluorescence that decays quickly is relatively large.

 具体的には、遅延蛍光性の材料からの発光としては、Prompt発光(即時発光)と、Delay発光(遅延発光)とが存在する。Prompt発光(即時発光)とは、当該遅延蛍光性の材料が吸収する波長のパルス光(パルスレーザーから照射される光)で励起された後、当該励起状態から即座に観察される発光である。Delay発光(遅延発光)とは、当該パルス光による励起後、即座には観察されず、その後観察される発光である。 Specifically, there are two types of light emission from a delayed fluorescent material: prompt light emission (immediate light emission) and delayed light emission (delayed light emission). Prompt light emission (immediate light emission) is light emission that is observed immediately from the excited state after being excited by pulsed light (light emitted from a pulsed laser) at a wavelength that the delayed fluorescent material absorbs. Delayed light emission is light emission that is not observed immediately after excitation by the pulsed light but is observed afterward.

 Prompt発光とDelay発光の量とその比は、“Nature 492, 234-238, 2012”(参考文献1)に記載された方法と同様の方法により求めることができる。なお、Prompt発光とDelay発光の量の算出に使用される装置は、前記参考文献1に記載の装置、または図2に記載の装置に限定されない。 The amount of prompt light emission and delay light emission and the ratio thereof can be determined by a method similar to that described in "Nature 492, 234-238, 2012" (Reference Document 1). Note that the device used to calculate the amount of prompt light emission and delay light emission is not limited to the device described in reference document 1 or the device described in FIG. 2.

 また、本明細書では、化合物M2の遅延蛍光性の測定には、次に示す方法により作製した試料を用いる。例えば、化合物M2をトルエンに溶解し、自己吸収の寄与を取り除くため励起波長において吸光度が0.05以下の希薄溶液を調製する。また酸素による消光を防ぐため、試料溶液を凍結脱気した後にアルゴン雰囲気下で蓋付きのセルに封入することで、アルゴンで飽和された酸素フリーの試料溶液とする。
 上記試料溶液の蛍光スペクトルを分光蛍光光度計FP-8600(日本分光社製)で測定し、また同条件で9,10-ジフェニルアントラセンのエタノール溶液の蛍光スペクトルを測定する。両スペクトルの蛍光面積強度を用いて、Morris et al. J.Phys.Chem.80(1976)969中の(1)式により全蛍光量子収率を算出する。
Furthermore, in this specification, a sample prepared by the following method is used to measure the delayed fluorescence of compound M2. For example, compound M2 is dissolved in toluene to prepare a dilute solution having an absorbance of 0.05 or less at the excitation wavelength in order to eliminate the contribution of self-absorption. Furthermore, in order to prevent quenching due to oxygen, the sample solution is frozen and degassed and then sealed in a cell with a lid under an argon atmosphere, thereby making the sample solution saturated with argon and oxygen-free.
The fluorescence spectrum of the above sample solution is measured using a spectrofluorometer FP-8600 (manufactured by JASCO Corporation), and the fluorescence spectrum of an ethanol solution of 9,10-diphenylanthracene is also measured under the same conditions. Using the fluorescence area intensity of both spectra, Morris et al. J. Phys. Chem. The total fluorescence quantum yield is calculated using equation (1) in 80 (1976) 969.

 本実施形態においては、測定対象化合物(化合物M2)のPrompt発光(即時発光)の量をXとし、Delay発光(遅延発光)の量をXとしたときに、X/Xの値が0.05以上であることが好ましい。
 本明細書における化合物M2以外の化合物のPrompt発光とDelay発光の量とその比の測定も、化合物M2のPrompt発光とDelay発光の量とその比の測定と同様である。
In this embodiment, when the amount of prompt light emission (immediate light emission) of the compound to be measured (compound M2 ) is represented by is preferably 0.05 or more.
In this specification, the measurement of the amount of prompt emission and delay emission and the ratio thereof of compounds other than compound M2 is also the same as the measurement of the amount of prompt emission and delay emission of compound M2 and the ratio thereof.

・三重項エネルギーと77[K]におけるエネルギーギャップとの関係
 ここで、三重項エネルギーと77[K]におけるエネルギーギャップとの関係について説明する。本実施形態では、77[K]におけるエネルギーギャップは、通常定義される三重項エネルギーとは異なる点がある。
 三重項エネルギーの測定は、次のようにして行われる。まず、測定対象となる化合物を適切な溶媒中に溶解した溶液を石英ガラス管内に封入した試料を作製する。この試料について、低温(77[K])で燐光スペクトル(縦軸:燐光発光強度、横軸:波長とする。)を測定し、この燐光スペクトルの短波長側の立ち上がりに対して接線を引き、その接線と横軸との交点の波長値に基づいて、所定の換算式から三重項エネルギーを算出する。
 ここで、本実施形態に係る化合物の内、熱活性遅延蛍光性の化合物は、ΔSTが小さい化合物であることが好ましい。ΔSTが小さいと、低温(77[K])状態でも、項間交差、及び逆項間交差が起こりやすく、励起一重項状態と励起三重項状態とが混在する。その結果、上記と同様にして測定されるスペクトルは、励起一重項状態、及び励起三重項状態の両者からの発光を含んでおり、いずれの状態から発光したのかについて峻別することは困難であるが、基本的には三重項エネルギーの値が支配的と考えられる。
 そのため、本実施形態では、通常の三重項エネルギーTと測定手法は同じであるが、その厳密な意味において異なることを区別するため、次のようにして測定される値をエネルギーギャップT77Kと称する。測定対象となる化合物をEPA(ジエチルエーテル:イソペンタン:エタノール=5:5:2(容積比))中に、濃度が10μmol/Lとなるように溶解し、この溶液を石英セル中に入れて測定試料とする。この測定試料について、低温(77[K])で燐光スペクトル(縦軸:燐光発光強度、横軸:波長とする。)を測定し、この燐光スペクトルの短波長側の立ち上がりに対して接線を引き、その接線と横軸との交点の波長値λedge[nm]に基づいて、次の換算式(F1)から算出されるエネルギー量を77[K]におけるエネルギーギャップT77Kとする。
  換算式(F1):T77K[eV]=1239.85/λedge
-Relationship between triplet energy and energy gap at 77[K] Here, the relationship between triplet energy and the energy gap at 77[K] will be explained. In this embodiment, the energy gap at 77 [K] differs from the normally defined triplet energy.
Triplet energy is measured as follows. First, a sample is prepared by sealing a solution in which a compound to be measured is dissolved in an appropriate solvent in a quartz glass tube. For this sample, measure the phosphorescence spectrum (vertical axis: phosphorescence intensity, horizontal axis: wavelength) at low temperature (77 [K]), draw a tangent to the rise of the short wavelength side of this phosphorescence spectrum, Triplet energy is calculated from a predetermined conversion formula based on the wavelength value at the intersection of the tangent and the horizontal axis.
Here, among the compounds according to this embodiment, the heat-activated delayed fluorescent compound is preferably a compound with a small ΔST. When ΔST is small, intersystem crossing and reverse intersystem crossing are likely to occur even in a low temperature (77 [K]) state, and excited singlet states and excited triplet states coexist. As a result, the spectrum measured in the same manner as above includes light emission from both the excited singlet state and the excited triplet state, and it is difficult to clearly distinguish from which state the light is emitted. , basically the value of triplet energy is considered to be dominant.
Therefore, in this embodiment, although the measurement method is the same as that of the normal triplet energy T, in order to distinguish that they are different in the strict sense, the value measured as follows is referred to as the energy gap T 77K . . The compound to be measured is dissolved in EPA (diethyl ether: isopentane: ethanol = 5:5:2 (volume ratio)) to a concentration of 10 μmol/L, and this solution is placed in a quartz cell for measurement. Use as a sample. For this measurement sample, measure the phosphorescence spectrum (vertical axis: phosphorescence intensity, horizontal axis: wavelength) at a low temperature (77 [K]), and draw a tangent to the rise of the short wavelength side of this phosphorescence spectrum. , the energy amount calculated from the following conversion formula (F1) based on the wavelength value λ edge [nm] at the intersection of the tangent and the horizontal axis is defined as the energy gap T 77K at 77 [K].
Conversion formula (F1): T 77K [eV] = 1239.85/λ edge

 燐光スペクトルの短波長側の立ち上がりに対する接線は以下のように引く。燐光スペクトルの短波長側から、スペクトルの極大値のうち、最も短波長側の極大値までスペクトル曲線上を移動する際に、長波長側に向けて曲線上の各点における接線を考える。この接線は、曲線が立ち上がるにつれ(つまり縦軸が増加するにつれ)、傾きが増加する。この傾きの値が極大値をとる点において引いた接線(すなわち変曲点における接線)が、当該燐光スペクトルの短波長側の立ち上がりに対する接線とする。
 なお、スペクトルの最大ピーク強度の15%以下のピーク強度をもつ極大点は、上述の最も短波長側の極大値には含めず、最も短波長側の極大値に最も近い、傾きの値が極大値をとる点において引いた接線を当該燐光スペクトルの短波長側の立ち上がりに対する接線とする。
 燐光の測定には、(株)日立ハイテクノロジー製のF-4500形分光蛍光光度計本体を用いることができる。なお、測定装置はこの限りではなく、冷却装置、及び低温用容器と、励起光源と、受光装置とを組み合わせることにより、測定してもよい。
The tangent to the rise of the short wavelength side of the phosphorescence spectrum is drawn as follows. When moving on the spectrum curve from the short wavelength side of the phosphorescence spectrum to the maximum value on the shortest wavelength side among the maximum values of the spectrum, consider the tangent at each point on the curve toward the long wavelength side. The slope of this tangent line increases as the curve rises (ie, as the vertical axis increases). The tangent drawn at the point where the value of this slope takes the maximum value (that is, the tangent at the inflection point) is the tangent to the rise of the short wavelength side of the phosphorescence spectrum.
Note that a local maximum point with a peak intensity that is 15% or less of the maximum peak intensity of the spectrum is not included in the local maximum value on the shortest wavelength side mentioned above, but is included in the maximum value of the slope that is closest to the local maximum value on the shortest wavelength side. The tangent line drawn at the point where the value is taken is the tangent line to the rise of the short wavelength side of the phosphorescence spectrum.
For the measurement of phosphorescence, an F-4500 spectrofluorometer manufactured by Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation can be used. Note that the measurement device is not limited to this, and measurement may be performed by combining a cooling device, a low-temperature container, an excitation light source, and a light receiving device.

・一重項エネルギーS
 溶液を用いた一重項エネルギーSの測定方法(溶液法と称する場合がある。)としては、下記の方法が挙げられる。
 測定対象となる化合物の10μmol/Lトルエン溶液を調製して石英セルに入れ、常温(300K)でこの試料の吸収スペクトル(縦軸:吸収強度、横軸:波長とする。)を測定する。この吸収スペクトルの長波長側の立ち下がりに対して接線を引き、その接線と横軸との交点の波長値λedge[nm]を次に示す換算式(F2)に代入して一重項エネルギーを算出する。
  換算式(F2):S[eV]=1239.85/λedge
 吸収スペクトル測定装置としては、例えば、日立社製の分光光度計(装置名:U3310)が挙げられるが、これに限定されない。
・Singlet energy S 1
Examples of the method for measuring singlet energy S1 using a solution (sometimes referred to as a solution method) include the following method.
A 10 μmol/L toluene solution of the compound to be measured is prepared and placed in a quartz cell, and the absorption spectrum (vertical axis: absorption intensity, horizontal axis: wavelength) of this sample is measured at room temperature (300K). Draw a tangent to the falling edge of the long wavelength side of this absorption spectrum, and calculate the singlet energy by substituting the wavelength value λedge [nm] at the intersection of the tangent and the horizontal axis into the conversion formula (F2) shown below. do.
Conversion formula (F2): S 1 [eV] = 1239.85/λedge
Examples of the absorption spectrum measuring device include, but are not limited to, a spectrophotometer manufactured by Hitachi (device name: U3310).

 吸収スペクトルの長波長側の立ち下がりに対する接線は以下のように引く。吸収スペクトルの極大値のうち、最も長波長側の極大値から長波長方向にスペクトル曲線上を移動する際に、曲線上の各点における接線を考える。この接線は、曲線が立ち下がるにつれ(つまり縦軸の値が減少するにつれ)、傾きが減少しその後増加することを繰り返す。傾きの値が最も長波長側(ただし、吸光度が0.1以下となる場合は除く)で極小値をとる点において引いた接線を当該吸収スペクトルの長波長側の立ち下がりに対する接線とする。
 なお、吸光度の値が0.2以下の極大点は、上記最も長波長側の極大値には含めない。
The tangent to the falling edge of the long wavelength side of the absorption spectrum is drawn as follows. When moving on a spectrum curve in the long wavelength direction from the maximum value on the longest wavelength side among the maximum values of the absorption spectrum, consider tangents at each point on the curve. The slope of this tangent line repeats decreasing and then increasing as the curve falls (that is, as the value on the vertical axis decreases). The tangent line drawn at the point where the slope value takes the minimum value on the longest wavelength side (excluding cases where the absorbance is 0.1 or less) is the tangent to the fall of the long wavelength side of the absorption spectrum.
Note that a maximum point with an absorbance value of 0.2 or less is not included in the maximum value on the longest wavelength side.

 本実施形態では、一重項エネルギーSと、77[K]におけるエネルギーギャップT77Kとの差(S-T77K)をΔSTとして定義する。 In this embodiment, the difference (S 1 −T 77K ) between the singlet energy S 1 and the energy gap T 77K at 77 [K] is defined as ΔST.

 本実施形態において、化合物M2の一重項エネルギーS(M2)と、化合物M2の77[K]におけるエネルギーギャップT77K(M2)との差ΔST(M2)は、好ましくは0.3eV未満、より好ましくは0.2eV未満、さらに好ましくは0.1eV未満、よりさらに好ましくは0.01eV未満である。すなわち、ΔST(M2)は、下記数式(数1A)~(数1D)のいずれかの関係を満たすことが好ましい。

The light-emitting layer may contain only one type of compound M3, or may contain two or more types of compound M3. The light-emitting layer may contain only one type of compound M2, or may contain two or more types of compound M2. The light emitting layer may contain only one type of compound M1, or may contain two or more types of compound M1.

 図5は、発光層における化合物M3、化合物M2、及び化合物M1のエネルギー準位の関係の一例を示す図である。図5において、S0は、基底状態を表す。S1(M1)は、化合物M1の最低励起一重項状態を表し、T1(M1)は、化合物M1の最低励起三重項状態を表す。S1(M2)は、化合物M2の最低励起一重項状態を表し、T1(M2)は、化合物M2の最低励起三重項状態を表す。S1(M3)は、化合物M3の最低励起一重項状態を表し、T1(M3)は、化合物M3の最低励起三重項状態を表す。図5中のS1(M2)からS1(M1)へ向かう破線の矢印は、化合物M2の最低励起一重項状態から化合物M1の最低励起一重項状態へのフェルスター型エネルギー移動を表す。
 図5に示すように、化合物M2としてΔST(M2)の小さな化合物を用いると、最低励起三重項状態T1(M2)は、熱エネルギーにより、最低励起一重項状態S1(M2)に逆項間交差が可能である。そして、化合物M2の最低励起一重項状態S1(M2)から化合物M1へのフェルスター型エネルギー移動が生じ、最低励起一重項状態S1(M1)が生成する。この結果、化合物M1の最低励起一重項状態S1(M1)からの蛍光発光を観測することができる。このTADFメカニズムによる遅延蛍光を利用することによっても、理論的に内部量子効率を100%まで高めることができると考えられている。
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the relationship between the energy levels of compound M3, compound M2, and compound M1 in the light emitting layer. In FIG. 5, S0 represents the ground state. S1 (M1) represents the lowest excited singlet state of compound M1, and T1 (M1) represents the lowest excited triplet state of compound M1. S1(M2) represents the lowest excited singlet state of compound M2, and T1(M2) represents the lowest excited triplet state of compound M2. S1(M3) represents the lowest excited singlet state of compound M3, and T1(M3) represents the lowest excited triplet state of compound M3. The dashed arrow pointing from S1 (M2) to S1 (M1) in FIG. 5 represents Förster type energy transfer from the lowest excited singlet state of compound M2 to the lowest excited singlet state of compound M1.
As shown in Figure 5, when a compound with a small ΔST (M2) is used as the compound M2, the lowest excited triplet state T1 (M2) reversely intersystems crosses into the lowest excited singlet state S1 (M2) due to thermal energy. is possible. Then, a Förster type energy transfer occurs from the lowest excited singlet state S1 (M2) of the compound M2 to the compound M1, and the lowest excited singlet state S1 (M1) is generated. As a result, fluorescence emission from the lowest excited singlet state S1 (M1) of compound M1 can be observed. It is believed that the internal quantum efficiency can be theoretically increased to 100% by utilizing delayed fluorescence due to this TADF mechanism.
